  Chapter 475 You are the Space Knights! (33)

  The cable car stopped at a rocky semicircular cable car station that was estimated to be built later.

  The boy noticed that outside the entrance and exit of the cable car anchored at a height of 300 meters, there are rows of landing platforms for parking flight facilities and monsters such as griffins. The huge warehouse in the distance should be an armored and ether-armed hangar. Obviously, most of the guys who often come and go to the upper city of the imperial capital will not take the cable car up like Ian.

   "This is it."

Following the guidance of Tres, Ian got off the cable car, and then led Ian to a passage next to the station: "This is the quick access to the fifth floor. I'm actually not familiar with it. Next time I have a chance, I can join Stroll around the imperial capital."

   "If given the chance."

  Ian promised that he had a psychic conversation with Hua An in another cable car at the moment: (Miss Hua An, you have been to the Imperial Capital before, right?)

   (How did you get in then?)

(Fly) Miss Goblin’s answer is very simple: (The imperial capital of the Setar Empire is indeed big enough, but its internal structure is actually similar to Falling Star City and Goblin Township. They are all refuges with their own ecological cycle design...after all, they are all pre-epoch A member of civilization, has survived the disaster of falling from the sky, it’s normal to be similar)

   (Speaking of which, it turns out that the cable car feels like this...Humans can also see the perspective that us elves can't see)

(Is that so...) Ian didn’t expect that the Fallen Star City and other fairy villages of the goblins are similar to the imperial capital—it’s no wonder that Miss Goblin was quite interested along the way, but she wasn’t as surprised as she was. .

   Also... For the Terra residents who were born in Terra, it is only natural that the imperial capital is so big.

   Rather, if the imperial capital of the Central Empire wasn't so big and unique, how could it deserve to be called the City of God's Blessing?

   But what is the difference between different layers and different districts in a city? It all boils down to the same thing.

   After Ian and Tres left the cable car, they walked along the 'No. 5 passage' for a while, and came to the fifth floor of the central city of the imperial capital.

   It feels like getting into the belly of a behemoth.

Each floor of the central city of the imperial capital is a hollow ring, with a lonely mountain in the center, which is the main body of the "planetary shield generator" that Ian said. The urban area is mounted on the outside, and the area of ​​each floor is about one to two hundred square meters. kilometer.

   It's not big, that is, a medium-to-large town, but considering it's located on the inner side of a lonely mountain, the area is quite astonishing.

After entering the fifth floor, Ian couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, because what attracted his eyes was actually a quite bustling urban area - urban buildings and pedestrians walking on the smooth avenue that were not much different from the outside world, and the lights of the shops , the hustle and bustle of pedestrians, and the hawking of vendors are exactly the same, and even the feet are solid rocks and soil.

   Except for the silver-white metal sky above the head and the artificial sun lamp as the light source, everything is no different from the outside world. Most of them are flat or two or three-story small buildings row upon row, forming a criss-cross block.

   Even, it seems more rustic, because the height of the central city is limited, and it is impossible to have many tall buildings over 100 meters like the outside world.

   "It's no different from the outside."

   Taking a deep breath, Ian blinked at the familiar smell of fireworks. He even saw birds flying between the buildings.

  There are wild animals here?

  He felt a little unbelievable: "I thought it should be full of steel cabins and corridors...at least it will be narrower."

   "Tres, how many people can live in the imperial capital? Every layer is a small city..."

"Why do you have such an idea?" Instead, Tres and the others turned their heads curiously and looked at Ian. They looked around the surrounding scenery and asked puzzledly: "Isn't this normal? The interior of the imperial capital is originally Those built to copy the ecology of the outside world, let alone prairie pigeons, even squirrels."

   "As for how many people... the imperial capital can shelter the residents of the entire Great Plains in times of crisis. It's hard to say for a long time. In a short time, tens of millions should not be a problem."

  —I can’t tell you a group of Terra natives... Tens of millions? This spaciousness is over the top!

  Ian clicked his tongue in his heart, what should he say, the imperial capital in his understanding should be more high-tech? At least a little bit of a sanctuary too.

  Who knew that after entering Midtown, although it is indeed a closed refuge management, it is not so much a refuge as it is... a space city that simulates the ecology of the surface?

"indeed!"

  Thinking of this, Ian suddenly realized, he looked around the design of the fifth floor again, and suddenly understood in his heart: "So that's how it is, that's how it is."

  The overall pattern of the entire Midtown is not a refuge, but an independent 'satellite colony'!

  The pre-epoch civilization of that year must have used the empty space inside the planetary shield generator as a test area for simulating the environment of the space city, so it was specially built to be the same as the outside world.

  Each floor here, is a different, experimental space city structure!

  If you think about it this way, you can understand it.

  But for Terra natives like Tres and Hua An, all of this is as it should be. If you want to ask why, you can only ask the ancients of the pre-epoch civilization.

   "The knights stationed in the satellite colony... it sounds like a space opera." Ian shook his head slightly.

  The headquarters of the Patrolling Knights is also quite high in the imperial capital, occupying a vast area. It is located on the fifth floor close to the east of the inner circle.

The street atmosphere here is relatively quiet, pedestrians who pass by unconsciously lower their voices, and there are quite a few knights wearing the same standard armor as Tres and others. Of course, there are also some people who only wear ordinary uniforms instead of armor. Those are Civil servants of the Knights.

   "Miss Huaan, please take care of Shuangdie. I saw a juice shop over there, here is money, you can take Shuangdie to drink some drinks!"

  At the entrance of the headquarters, Ian took off some of the more sensitive things on his body, and the goblin lady turned her head, looked at the juice shop beside her, and nodded happily: "No problem—but we will drink a lot, okay?"

  Ian didn't take it seriously: "It's okay to spend all of it."

  In fact, when he gave the money, he hoped that Hua An would spend it all. Miss Goblin helped a lot along the way, and he would feel bad if he kept asking for help for free.

  Especially...Miss Goblin always thought that he was just an ordinary talented goblin sublimator, and didn't know how many secrets and snoopers were behind him... The young man felt that he had to find a chance to confess to the other party.

  At least explain your basic background.

   After setting up the two goblin ladies, he followed Tres into the headquarters.

The rank composition of the Patrol Knights is quite simple. The apprentice at the first level, the captain at the second level, and the great knight at the third level form a fairly stable pyramid structure, and above the great knight is Big figures like the Marquis of Barton, the head of the Patrol Knights and the two deputy heads.

   Even apprentices generally have their own team.

  After all, there are actually quite a few nephews and nephews thrown over by the great nobles. Of course, they can't go around to complete tasks like real inspector knights. Naturally, there are related teams to do it for them.

   Tres apparently not. But he also got ahead and became a small captain. He took Ian through the main entrance and came to a courtyard.

  The brown-haired knight guided Ian to a two-story building on the side of the courtyard, where many people were busy.

   "Archives. I won't go in."

   Tres said so: "You know, I will pick you up..." He didn't finish speaking. But the meaning has been clearly expressed.

  —The big man who asked him to pick up Ian is probably coming here soon... Tres is reminding Ian to pay attention.

  Ian didn't speak, but returned a clear look.
